introduction

The IFCPA was founded in 1990 during the Congress of Documentation Centres at the 9th International Puppet Festival of Bilbao, Spain.

The IFCPA is financially based in Amsterdam with a secretariat in Bilbao. Membership is open to all national puppet centres by subscription. Executive posts are filled by election on a biennial basis.


Its stated aims are
to create an active network between international, national and regional centres for puppetry arts throughout the world.

In order to
exchange information, documentation and ideas
collaborate on joint projects
act as central reference point and co-ordination body to stimulate and improve similar centres throughout the world

by
improving conditions and resources
intervening at governmental, national and local level
generating funds and practical support to maintain and sustain existing organisations and also to develop new organisations

with
the creation of an international database of puppet centres
an international directory of puppet centres
information on developments in different countries
an international magazine / journal

The intention is
"to establish and maintain direct links and a network between centres, in the interest of promoting international friendship and practical collaboration between centres".
